Tournaments Beta on Steam: What You Need to Know

We can’t wait for you all to check out our Tournaments Beta on Steam this week. Before you hop into Rocket League's ‘February Madness,’ however, we have some additional details and tips for you to keep in mind while enjoying the new feature.

Go to your Steam Library on your computer and right-click Rocket League

Choose ‘Properties,’

Click the ‘BETAS’ tab in the pop-up window

Select ‘Tournaments Beta’ from the drop-down list

After closing the pop-up window, your Steam client will update Rocket League to the beta.

If you don’t see the Tournaments Beta option under the ‘BETAS’ tab at the start time, try restarting Steam or your PC after the beta begins.

Note: If you want to disable the beta, go back to the ‘BETAS’ tab, and select ‘NONE - Opt out of the beta program,’ and Steam will then update Rocket League back to your normal ‘live’ version of the game.

‘Beta’ Rocket League vs ‘Live’ Rocket League

As you’re hopping into your first tournament, remember that the Tournaments Beta has limited functionality outside of the new Tournaments feature compared to the ‘Live’ version of Rocket League that you normally play on PC. Some of the differences and limitations you should keep in mind are:

The Tournaments Beta has no online matchmaking outside of the Tournaments environment

You cannot trade with other players, trade up items, or use Crates and Keys in the Tournaments Beta build

You will have access to most of your item inventory, but some newer items (e.g.: some items from the Velocity Crate) may not appear. This is normal, and those items are still in your inventory in the ‘live’ version of Rocket League

Some of your settings may not carry over to the Tournaments Beta

If you plan on switching back and forth between ‘Live” Rocket League and the Tournaments Beta, you may want to backup your save data files just in case. You can do this by going to the following folders:
